Gordon/people

Famous quotes containing the words gordon and/or people:

“For in itself a thought,
A slumbering thought, is capable of years,
And curdles a long life into one hour.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“I also believe that few people remain completely untouched by the thought that instead of the life they lead there might also be another, where all actions proceed from a very personal state of excitement. Where actions have meanings, not just causes. And where a person, to use a trivial word, is happy, and not just nervously tormenting himself.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
